Design and Simulation for a Two-dimensional Rectangle-Square Wave Micromixer
نویسنده
چکیده
An effective two-dimensional micromixer named rectangle-square wave micromixer with very simple structure has been presented. The rectangle-square wave micromixer based on split and recombination principle was simulated to analyze the fluid flow and the mixing efficiency. The flow rate, sample concentration, pressure drop at different position in the micromixer was researched. The simulation results show the micromixer can appear good performance for a wide range of flow rates with smaller pressure drop. The rectangle-square wave micromixer is proven to be effective and will have great potential to be integrated to other microfluidic systems. Copyright © 2014 IFSA Publishing, S. L.

متن کاملThe effect of flow parameters on mixing degree of a three dimensional rhombus micromixer with obstacles in the middle of the mixing channel using oscillatory inlet velocities
The previous studies of authors on passive micromixers indicated that the micromixers dividing the flow to several layers, such as rhombus micromixers and micromixers with obstacles in the middle of the mixing channel, have higher mixing degree than other types. Also, using of oscillatory inlet velocities is an active method to enhance the mixing efficiency of micromixers. Therefore, in this st...
